WOULD BAR SUNDAY ICE CREAM SALES (By Uaily Nows Leased Wire) OTTAWA, April 2S.—The proposals of the government in connection with the Canadian Northern railway have -.been placed beforo parliament, the resolutions being brought down at 11:30 o'clock tonight. They embody a [number of distinctive features, wnlch are set forth ln the following ((Tidal statement: "1. A proposition is made for guaranteeing the hoods to thc amount of $45,000,000, which, with the other as- jsets now available, Is considered sufficient for the completion of the com pany'-s lines as a transcontinental sys tem. Subsequent betterments will, of course, be necessary from timo to time. The system, when completed, will com prlRo nearly 10,000 miles of railway. "2. The company stock Issue at the present time amounts to ? 145,000,000, of which about $138,000,000 is held by' tho Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, and $7,000,000 'by the government Tho $145,000,000 above mentioned consists of J77.O0O.000 of stock in tho Canadian ['Northern railway and ?68,000,000 of (stock In tho various subsidiary com* panles. The total capitalization of $145,000,000 is reduced' to $100,000,000, of which tho government receives $33,000,000 in addition to the $7,000,000 already held, or $40,000,000 in ail. the other hand, the stock holdings or Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, namely, $70,000,000 of Canadian Northern railway stock and $68,000,000 In the sub sidlary companies, or $138,000,000 In all, has been reduced to $60,000,000, that Is to say, a total reduction of $78,000,000. Relinquish Claims for Big Sum 3. Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, jhave absolutely released all claims 'against thc Canadian Northern railway {•and Its various subsidy'companies for offices which they have performed during the past 18 years or since thc inception of tho enterprise. It is estf- i-ated that on thp ordinary percent- luge charge by brokers and commission houses, namely, a commission of fi per cent, the amount thus realized would not be less than from $lfi,000,000 to $20,000,000. Tho government receives security by way of mortgage on tlio Canadian Northern railway lines on the three prairie provinces, comprising about 5,000 mites. This is the most remunerative portion of the company's system as the line runs through an excellent location and enjoys a largo traffic. "5. In case any of the $45,000,000 to be raised by the government's guarantee should be applied in completing or operating any of thc company's sub- -isldiary lines such company must also execute a mortgnge for the protection of the government for thc amount so expended on such company's properties.

Thc reduction of the stock issue ,'lfrom $145,000,000 to $100,000,000 bas (been accomplished by having nil thp ■^stocks of tho various subsidiary ratl- ' iWiy companies, of tho terminal companies, telegraph, express and elevutor 'companies as well as the steamship s companies transferred to the Canadian '.'.Northern railway, so that the govcrn- Iment holding $40,000,000 out of $100,- j000,000 of Canadian Northern railway ■■■stock has a corresponding interest in ijnll these companies. The interest of Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, which owns tho townsftes and which holds very valuable real estate In the three prairie provinces, has also been pledged'to tho government as security.

April 28.— Mayor Baxter told Dr, Crummy, president of the Lord's Day Alliance for. British Columbia, In a letter tills morning, that h-e would not reply to any communication from nor receive any delegation including Rev. C. H. Huestis, secretary of the alliance for British Columbia and Alberta. His action wns the result of a letter from Mr. Huestis from Red Doer, demanding a more definite reply as to the enforcement of the Lord's Day act than "the vague and childish statement" that the law "would 'De reasonably enforced." Tho mayor thinkB the Vancouver police are doing all that is sanely possible in the wayi of prosecution. "Mr, Huestis wants us to stop the sale of newspapers on Sunday and make It impossible to buy ice cream or fruit on Sunday." The result of these demands, added the mayor, was thut he intended to ignore in future any letters from Mr. Huestis and he would not consent to meet any delegation of which he was a member, "Dr. Crummy has no such scruples," Mayor Baxter said. "He and* I get along finely." .

C, April 28.— While watched by five persons two burglars in the early hours of this morning blew open tlie safe of the Revelstoke post office and succeeded in escaping with some $150 and three gold watches and two chains, the property of Postmaster Young. Private papers were also taken, but stamps and other money, blown over tho floor by the farce of the explosion, were left behind. The attention of Miss Bell, nurse on duty at Revelstoke hospital, was at traded by the first explosion and Mrs. S. Gale, living in a houso some 50 yards from the post office was simultaneously awakened. Mrs. Gale, looking from a window of her house, saw the burglar's confederate running from end to end of thc post office to command a view in each direction. Miss Bell, with Miss Geigcr. another nurse, were later joined by D. Blackwel, fireman at the hospital, and Mrs. Blackwell also watched the burg* lary from the hospital windows. Attempts to summon the police by telephone from the hospital were for some time in vain. But tbo red light call for tho police was eventually secured and tho sound of the footsteps of a constable running to tho scene alarmed tho man on watch and the two burglars were seen to dash away in the direction of thc railway tracks to the north. Safe Shattered by Explosion Three shots In all wero fired, all of which wero distinctly heard by the onlookers. The massive doors of the post office safe were bent and shattered and one of the heavy outer doors was blown bodily some 25 ft, striking the partition of the lobby and making a dent in the opposite wall. Tho office was filled with dust and smoke, which probably prevented the burglars from securing more booty The police, who arrived immediately after the burglary, gave chase, but In the darkness and through the rough country at the foot of Mount Revel stoko no trace of the thieves could be discovered. The ibooty consists chiefly of gold and notes and cannot be identified, MAORI CHIEFS REACH BRITISH COLUMBIA (By Dally News Leased Wire.) VANCOUVER, B.

(Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON, April 28.—"The government will not use force until force is used against the representatives of law and order in Ulster. If rebellion comes, the government will put it down; if It comes to civil war, the government will do Its best to conquer, but there will be no rebellion, no civil war unless it be the making of tlie opposition." So spoke Right Hon. Winston Churchill in the commons today. "Surely peace with honor is not beyond the reach of all," he continued. "Why could not Sir Edwnrd Carson say boldly, 'Give me amendments to tills bill, which I ask for to safeguard the dignity and interest of Protestant Ulster, and I, in return, will use all my influence and good will to make Ireland an Integral unit in the* federal system?' If Sir Edward used language of that kind It would -° Ear to transform the political situation and every man would be found ready to organize his position in relation to the great problein and it would afford bright prospects which would bring honor an-j »ot discredit to all concerned." Audacious, Impudent, He Says. Mr. Churchill safeguarded his utterance by declaring that lie made It 011 his own responsibility. The foregoing was preceded toy an angry, bitter interlude. "An audacious vote of censure, a most impudent demand," these expressions In the opening sentence of the rirst lord's speech brought an uproar, in the middle of which Sir Edward Carson sprang to his feet. Mr. Churchill, however, persisted in ignoring the fact that the Ulster leader was also standing. Cad, Replies Carson. "You behave like a cad," exclaimed Sir Edward, but the speaker rebuked the principals and Sir Edward expresses his regret. The remainder of the debate was perfectly orderly. Lord Charles Beresford, who was among tlie subsequent speakers, declared bis conviction that what tlie government had done was to irritate Ulster, who intended to fight for her liberties. He stated that officers and men of the navy were asked what they would do if they were sent against Ulster, the question beiti^ put to'tliem either by the master at arms or the chief petty officer. Sir Charles spoke of Mr. Churchill as "a terrible failuro in the army," a declaration which drew protests from several ministerialists, think Cold-blooded Massacre Planned. Sir Charles Pole-Carew expressed tho opinion thnt the government had laid itself bare to the charge of having tried to engineer a cold-blooded massacre for its own political ends. Says Inaccuracies Deliberate. Austen Chamberlain declared that Winston Churchill in his account of the naval movements made statements grossly and flagrantly inaccurate. Moreover, these Inaccuracies were not accidental, he added, amid signs of approval from his own side. "The first lord of the admiralty," continues Mr. Chamberlain, "came to tlie conclusion that no settlement was possible until he had shown the overwhelming power of the crown against Ulster. He determined to take Biich measures against Ulster as would have the effect of paralysing all resistance. I do not charge him with deliberately provoking the outbreak, but he deliberately contemplated there might be an explosion and he was prepared to face it because he calculated it would put the Ulstermen In tlio wrong and himself in the right." Speaking shortly before adjourn ment Col. Seely claimed the government had taken tlie right course in safeguarding the Irish Interests. The debate wus adjourned until to* morrow, when the Premier and Bonar Law are expected to speak. Mr. Churchill's appeal to Sir Edward Carson today certainly took the house by surprise and indications have been given that the government intended to end with a note of suggestion. Doubtful as to Compromise, The Morning Post's lobby correspondent says It is difficult to ascertain how Mr. Redmond's followers regard the situation. Some affect to believe Mr. Churchill was merely giving expression to his own views, but this line of thought will not bear examination under the circumstances of the declaration. It was made immediately after the meeting of the cab inet council and read out in the presence of the prime minister. It may be taken for granted, however, continues the Post correspondent, that the Nationalists will not, except ln extremity, consent to any compromise which goes beyond the six-year time limit. No further developments are reported from Ulster, but the opinion ..iQuiHlmHHl UU Jftft SexvU); ■_ FINDS PAYROLLS WERE PADDED Books of Marine Department at Quebec Probed—New Brunswick Railway Matters Aired, (By Daily News Lessetl Wire.) OTTAWA, April 28.—Recent developments in New Brunswick in connection with the construction of the St. John Valley railway were the subject of a debate ln the house this afternoon and evening which was confined exclusively to members from New Brunswick. P. B, Carvell made a charge of scandal, but not against the federal government, which had given the road a subBldy of $G,400 per mile. He said that there had been boodUng in connection with the building of this line and that Ills object in bringing the matter up was to warn the minister of railways and to ask him to take over the construction of the road. , Hon. J. D. Hazen, in the course of a short speech, expressed the conviction that the commission which was to be named to Inquire into the charges will find that they are without foundation. He said Premier Flemming was a Biclt man and that It wns Inconsiderate of Mr. Carvell to bring the matter up in the federal house at tho present time. H. P. McLeod accused Mr. Carvell of endeavoring to block the construction of the road. Hon. J. D. Reed expressed the view that things were not as painted by Mr. Carvell and promised tbat the federal government would take steps to protect the interests of the public. The house then went Into committee on the tariff resolutions. W. S. Loggle of Northumberland moved for the abolition of the duty on potatoes and the matter was under discussion when the house adjourned at 12:30 a.m. Enquiry Bares Irregularities At thc opening of the house Premier Borden unnounced that In view of the larger loss of life in the wreck of thc Newfoundland sealing vessels It had been decided by the government to increase the grant for relief from ?10,000 to $25,000. In answer to a question from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. J. D. Hazen gave some particulars of the suspension of marine department officials at Quebec. He said that the attention of the marine department had recently been called to the fact that there was reason for believing serious irregularities had occurred in the marine office at Quebec covering a number of years. Mr. Doutre, the purchasing agent of the department, had been sent to Quebec and as a result offils inquiry four officials had been suspended and a thorough investigation was to be made. Payroll Padded The charges were to the cffeeL tjiot in 1008 and 1000 and perhaps later pay lists had been padded with fictitious names and with tho names of persons who were not employes. The pay lists had heen certified to by thc timekeeper, tho accountant and the paymaster and had been paid. There was no doubt of this having occurred, as it was practically admitted by a clerk In the accountant's office. It was fair to Mr. Behind, tho superintendent, to sny that he had stated that he had no knowledge of these transactions, but other officials said that he did know and they had acted under his Instructions. Declares Forgery Involved It was apparent, said Mr. Hazen, that the persons getting the money did not profit by it themselves but that tho money was used to cover accounts incurred toy thc department, but which the department ot Ottawa refused to -sanction. They drew the money and paid these accounts. This involved conspiracy or at least complicity and in some cases forgery. In addition there was a charge that certain property had been disposed of and no return made lo Ottawa, though It was explained that an amount had been used In connection with a celc* bration at Quebec. The minister concluded by saying that Mr. Doutre and un official of the justice department had been appointed as a commission to investigate fully and that, they would begin their work at onco. Recalls Charges , On motion to go into committee of supply, K B. Carvell, Carleton, brought up the question of the St John Valley railway. He said that grave charges had been made against the premier of New Brunswick on two matters; first, regarding his connection with tlie extension of timber lim Its, Into which an investigation was being made; second, with regard to the St. John Valley railway. Mr. Car veil said that there was an agreement (Contlnuad on Dale twoA p®p$<P&PP$ <P WHY ADVERTISED GOODS ARE GENERALLY BETTER <P sP he ♦ <P P A manufacturer who spends P a great sum of money in mak- P ing. his trademark known is p building for the future.

(Ry Dailv News Leased Wirel ECCLES, W. Va„ April 28.—All hope for the rescue alive of 203 miuers entombed by an explosion today in mines 5 and 6 of the New River Collieries company was abandoned late tonight. Rescuers were unable to force their way into the burning Bhafts. Fifty-nine men, all burned severely, were rescued alive from No. fi mine and aro receiving medical attention. The disaster, the second largest in the mining history of West Virginia, was caused by a gns explosion in the fiOO-foot level of mine No. 5. It was followed five minutes later by a second explosion, which completely wrecked this mine and partially demolished mine No. fi, a connecting operation. One hundred and ninety men were at work in mine No. 5 and not1 one of them reached the surface. Rescue Attempts Futile. The mine at once caught fire and attempts nt rescue were futile. Late tonight all hope of getting the miners out of mine No. 5 was given Up and rescue parties were driven back by the intense heat. The state governor and high officials of the company, together with government and state mine experts, were at the mines rendering all the assistance possible. There is little excitement. Scenes usually attending such disasters are lacking. Relative of the miners, convinced there Is little hope of the recovery alive of their loved ones, sought their homes early in the night, leaving only rescue crews at the mouths of the mines.

American Army and Navy Operations Continue HUERTA DRILLS TO REPEL ATTACK Fear of Rebel Atrocities Hangs Over Mexico City- Capture Another Town. (Bi' Daily News Leased Wire) WASHINGTON, April 28.—The * Mexican crisis Is now centerjng on thc issue between thoso who are seeking the good offices and mediation of Latin America, to find some middle ground for pacific adjustment and those who regard a resort to arms as an inevitable consequence of what has occurred. Throughout tho day tho two distinct branches of activity were manifested here—that of the envoya of Argentina, Brazil and Chile ln formulating a plan of adjustment to be submitted to the United Stages and the Huerta regime, and that of tho military, and naval forces of tho United States, which continue to go forward steadily in preparation for any eventuality which may develop. The arrival of Gen, Funston and a brigade of 5,000 troops at Vera Cruz was one of tho military developments of tho day. Peace Envoys Deliberate Chief Interest was directed to the sessions of the South American envoys, lasting through the day and late Into the evening. The meetings wore held at the Argentine legation, where, seated about a long mahogany table* the three envoys deliberated much, as an international court would weigh a case of supremo Importance pending its decision. At tho White House President Wilson and his cabinet advisers held a lengthy meeting, devoted chiefly, however, to the' Colorado situation, although tho Mexican crisis continued in thc foreground., To a large extent it was felt that tho Mexican situation was now before those who had undertaken to exercise their good offices and care was taken not to embarrass tho efforts of the envoys by any announcement of conditions of settlement which the United States would Insist on. It became known that probably three or four days, or even a longer time, might elapse beforo the mediators would be ready to take their next step. The three peacemakers are proceeding slowly and carefully, gathering all tho Information possible from various American and Mexican sources, to tlio end of considering every element In tho controversy. They are careful to make a distinction between their present exercises of good offices and what may come later if the good oBflces advance to the stage of mediation. They take tlie view that their work is ono of far-reaching effect, not only In the present controversy, but as affecting the continued peace of tho western hemlsphero through tlie united efforts of American nations, north, south aud central. Dr, Naon, the Argentina minister la a diplomat of wide experience and an International lawyer who one time held the chair of constitutional law in the university of Argentina. Ho is a former member of tho Argentine cabinet and of congress and has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for president. The Brazilian ambassador, Senor Dagama is by reason of his rank the senior mombcr of the body. Ho also is a (rained diplomat, a product of the younger school of Brazilian statesmanship, and one who is highly regarded by Dr. Lauro Mueller, Brazilian minister of foreign affairs, who recently visited this country. The Chilean envoy, Sonor Suaren, brings to the meetings the advantage of a long and thorough acquaintance with Mexico as ho was for some yeijrs Chilean minister at. Mexico City. Government by Commission Mooted A report is that one of the pliins ,Ijc- ing considered contemplates a provisional commission for government In Mexico. Another report that was discussed widely was the prospects tiuit the three intermediaries might visit Mexico City to talk with Gen. Huerta face to face.

Kootenay and Boundary AGRICULTURE: ITS PRACTICE ~AND_SCIENCE PROPER TREATMENT OF SOIL IN KOOTENAY Moisture, Cultivation, Humus, Nitrogen and Other Conditions Are Discussed in Article. (By A. E. Keffer.) Optimism, energy and scientific agriculture are essential to the well being of this province. At no time in the history of the world has there been so much attention paid to the problem of crop production and it is only in the laat 20 years lhat we have come to clearly understand the real principles which govern crop production. The soil robber of tlie nineteenth century ihas had his day; tlie farmer of today must realize that it Is necessary for him to do things differently from his forefathers. To he successful he not only must know 'Miow" but "why" as well. He has to learn something of the micro-organisms of the soil, and the part they play In the development of fertility In order that he may control them for the benefit of his crop. There are other problems which affect farmers besides production with "Which he haa to deal in the near future. In* this age of commercialism the farmer has been so busy studying .the producing part of his business that he has left the commercial part of the transaction 'to 'tlie other fellow," and naturally "the other fellow* gets the big end of the profits. Al some future time I will have something to say in regard to the matter, but as this Is the seed time of the year I will ,say something in regard to the cultivation of the soil. Department Does Good Work. It seems almost superfluous to give the farmer any .advice in the cultivation of the soil with all the instruction we get from agricultural papers, government bulletins and institute lectures and I must say that in this ■province at least we have a real live department of agriculture, a department which is doing all that Is possible ito Instruct the farmer as to the best methods to follow in the different branches of farming, and yet we find that the foundation oi' agriculture, the cultivation of the soil, is not really understood by the masses. In tlie Kootenay district we have a variety of soils requiring some difference in the methods of cultivation, 'but tlie underlyting principle as to the physical condition which is necessary for best results Is the same in all soils The difference lies in tlie methods we must take to produce these conditions and it Is the physical condition or the surface six or eight Inches which governs crop production. To Develop Fertility. If the question were asked the average farmer why die cultivated his soil he would most likely say to form seed bed and to keep down weed Ibut If he had a hoe crop, one part of which was weedy audi the otlier part perfectly clean of weeds, he would naturally cultivate the clean part as well as the weedy part, because cultivation would increase trie crop; In other words, cultivation develops fertility, so the crux of the matter is that everything we do in the management of tlie soil should lie done with the idea of developing fertility. Now, fertility is not a substance in the soil in given quantities nor can analysis of the soil determine its crop-producing powers; it is rather a combination of ingredients In the soil which under certain conditions FALLING HAIR AND ITCHING SCALP entirely Needless—Use Parisian Sage. It Quickly Removes Dandruff. Your Head Feels Fine. Now thnt Parisian Sage can be liad at any drug or toilet counter, It Is certainly needless to have thin, brittle. imatted, stringy or faded hair. No matter how unsightly the hair, bow (badly It is falling, or how much dandruff, use Parisian Sage—it ls all that Is needed. One application removes (Dandruff; the hair roots are nourished and stimulated! to grow new hair; itching scalp and falling Halr cease— your head feels fine. Best of all, the hair becomes soft, fluffy, abundant p.nd radiant with life and -beauty. You will 'be surprised and delighted ■with Parisian Sage. Try at least one GO-cent bottle. We will refund the purchase price If you are not satis- fled. Look for the trade mark—"The Girl •With the Auburn Hair"—accept no pther. The Poole Drug Co.. Ltd. will develop into plant food. All soils contain more or leas of the elements which are necessary for the development of fertility, aiid it is tile proper combination of these elements for tlie development of plant foo,) which should be the aim of the husbandman and if thoroughly understood is largely under his control. In tlie first place, we must have moisture. We must also have air, and these two elements must be In the proper combination. Moisture exists in the ground in practically two forms, in what might he called sheet water and film moEsture; that Is. a thin film of moisture surrounding each particle of soil. The latter form is necessary to develop plant food. If water in sheet form rises too near the surface the water level must he lowered by under- drainage for best results. Air Needed. We must also have a proper proportion of air. Nitrogen, tlie most expensive element of plant life, abounds In the air. Scientists tell us that about four- fifths of the air is nitrogen; therefore, air is necessary in order to induce nitrification. An example of this process may be given. When a fence post begins to rot (which is nitrification), it usually begins at or just below the surface of the ground where the air and moisture are in tlie proper combination for the process. Deeper down, where the earth is too solid to admit tlie air, although the moisture is there, the wood is preserved. Above the ground where there is plenty of air hut no moisture the wood is preserved, and this is the condition we should maintain in thc soil for the plant growth. The decomposition of the fence post at the point where conditions are favorable is the result of the action of bacteria, as is also the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter which forms humus. The soil under proper conditions is a culture medium for many different microorganisms, some of which belong to the animal kingdom and others to the vegetable kingdom, They live and multiply in the film of moisture surrounding each particle of soil and thev ■are so small that they find it a vast deep sea. They cause tlie chemical gauges which are necessary for the plant to obtain food. The supply of nitrogen in the soil would become exhausted wore it not for certain species of bacteria living in the soil. Otlier sped absorb it from the air when living nodules on the roots of the plant, anil so it is important that tiie farmer should realize the importance of keeping his soil in the physical condition most favorable for the development and activity of these micro-oiganls Humus Required. Since they require large quantities of organic matter he must see that the soil is well supplied with humus, and many of the soils of this province are lacking in humus, either by be yard manure or by plowing down green crops, The value of barnyard manure is not so much in Its supply of nitrogen, potash and phospnoric aci,] as in its adaptability for the production of bacteria. Lime is also very great value for the same reason. as It corrects any acidity wfaiah is unfavorable to the comfort of necessary bacteria. So it is that tlio physical condition brought about by the proper working of the soil, combining tlie proper combination of moisture, air and humus, is necessary for the best production of crops, and tlie farmer should always keep in mind the tact that the crop depends largely upon the number and activity of the micro-organisms of the soil. System of Drainage. As scienrtiiftc farming may be termed "the art of doing tiie right thing at the right time," the question arises ihow can we create theso conditions In the management of tlie soil. I have endeavored to show that moisture is a prime necessity and that it must be in the film form near the surface or to a depth to which the roots of tiie plant you wish to grow would naturally go in search of food, so naturally if sheet water rises too high the level must be lowered by under-drainage; so also where moisture is lacking, as t is in arid, or semi- arid districts, we muBt endeavor to control the supply by cultivation. If we have to depend upon the average precipitation we must create a condition in the soil whereby the moisture is put down in the ground by gravitation and stored there for the future use of the plant. In most ot the arid soils the subsoil will readily permit ot this being done, but where NAME SUTHERLAND AS CANDIDATE Revelstoke Doctor to Oppose Hon.

Half a century ago, before Confederation, they wereon sale in nearly every drug or general store in the Canada of that day, and were the recognized cure hi thousands of homes for Constipation, Indigestion, Biliousness, Rheumatism and Kidney and Liver Troubles. Today they arc just as effective, just at reliable as ever, and nothing better baa yet been devised to « Cure Common Ills on tbe statute book by which tin* government of Canada bad agreed lo take over and operate this road ns part of tho Intercolonial railway. It was therefore exceedingly Important for the country that it wns properly constructed, that it be built In the right place ami Unit It be not over-capitalized! Mr. Carvell declared that the railway, which has since boon constructed In parts, Is not a good third class road. There were, however, a large number of small corrugated iron culverts, some of which had already broken down. Ho had reason to believe that the spec in cations had been changed to meet the road, he said. healing with the assistance which had been given to tho St. John Valley railway, Mr. Carvell said thai the rouil had received a double subsidy of $0,400 per mile from the Dominion government. Bonds backed by the provincial government at 4 per cent, hud been Issued to the extent of $35,uoo per mile. The provincial act stipulated thnt these should not -be sold at less than D8. "But," continued Mr, Carvell, "when the crowd of Yankees, to whom has been banded over the province New Brunswick, found they were not making boodle enough they came back to the government and were allowed to dispose of lhe.se bonds al 95." Thinks Gould Pretty Strong Man Mr. Carvell said that later on addl tional bonds to the amount of $10,000 per mile were authorised by tho provincial government. Ho declared that Arthur R. Gould of New York, with whom the provincial government had llealt, was a bright, shrewd Yankee Who could roll the minister of marine and fisheries, the premier of Now Brunswick and the others with whom dealt into a ball and throw ihcm ever a burn. They were like putty his hands, it was thc desire late Dominion government, said, lo have the Intercolonial railway operate this road, but the Conserva- cs were much inclined to deal wilh the Canadian Pacific railway. Mr Gould was the ropresoijtatlve of tin Canadian Pacifla raibay in Maine and that was why lie was brought In. Ciirvoll stated that the road so far construe!ed despite all the pro* visions which had been made for I had net cost mere than $2i!,00*d per mile. "Mackenzie and Mann," declared Mr. Carvell. "arc only 'in the infant class, in the. kindergarten class, compared with these men lu New liruns wick." Gives Credit to Cochrane Mr. Carvell replied to a question by Dr. .1. D. neld that lie believed that Mr. Cochrane had watched Ihings closely and he believed ib.it tho Do minion government engineer had ■ n ileav-nred to get at the facts.

McLeod took up the subject in a vigorous reply to Mr Carvell'. He described somo of Mr Oarvell's slatemeuts as "vicious and violent," and sulci that lie had a perverted nilnd nnd a dishonest intellect. The speaker was called upon, hut ruled this language was parliamentary. Mr. Mel.end said the late noveni- ment would never do anything, but finally in 1911 the "Lord delivered them inlo our hands" and tbe new government that came in was more sympathetic. Tlie standard of th road was changed because they did not want, to build a road like the National Transcontinental railway in New lirunswlck, costing ?1UU,HIMJ a mile. Hon. Mr, *Emmerson declared Mr. Carvell had rendered a public service in giving n warning to the minister of railways. MRS. W. W. LAKE Tells Others to Get Strong and Well. Mrs. W. W. Lake ,,f Aberdeen.

This scheme is tlie last great effort of the "machine" to fasten its octopus-like hold in a grip too firm to be broken. Step by step their plans have heen developed until nothing remains to insure an ignominous victory save the knowledge of a telephone number, which only the little operator, VVunda Kelly, can give tliem. Such is tho beginning of this play, which proceeds with a breathless interest that Is full of dramatic surprises and surcharged with excitement. Miss Felton and the Alien Players are scoring one of their most pronounced hits In th© production or "The Woman" and a crowded house is assured for their first presentation of It in this city at tlie opera house on May -1. At the Starland tonight and mat- luce at 2:'M) Henry Blossom's great racing drama, "Checkers," with Thomas W. Ross, the original star, will he shown. There has been no moro Important event in the History of filmdor.1 as far as Nelson Is con- corned than this attraction. For many years Mr. Ross toured the larger cities of the United States and Canada in thc play and scored an emphatic hit. In fact, he has played the part so long that It has become nat- urul for him, and for that reason his appearance in the role of the race- track man has much to commend the production. The story of the play i8 one that will appeal to the hearts of everyone and the situations at times though of an amusing turn have so much heart Interest In them that the spectator Is I compelled to absorb the story nnd go away feeling that there is still plenty I of room for Improvement iu tlie llfol of the every-dny man of the world.

Such, in a measure, is the thought that occurs to one on a perusal of this volume apart from its Interest historically; that crude as had been the condition of things at the period to which these documents relate, they were the beginnings of things in the evolutlary process which has since then been going on and which shall continue to develop with an ever greater momentum until the present stage shall appear as crude to future Canadians.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29 CANADIAN CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. A volume of nearly 600 pages, from tne. public archives of the government of Canada, entitled "Documents Relating to the Constitutional History of Canada, 1701 to 1S18, selected and edited with notes by Arthur G. Doughty and Duncan A. McArthur," has just come to hand. This Is the Becond volume of such documents which has been issued hy the archivists, the previous having covered the years 1759-1701. A third volume Is said to be in course* of preparation and will contain the documents relating to the yearB 1818-1841. The second volume, the one just to hand, la full of most Interesting matter, all original documents relating to the most important events which transpired In Canadian history during the years dealt with and revealing, more clearly than it could be otherwise shown, the evolution of Canada during this period, or rather that part of Canada which embraces the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, from its comparatively primitive state in 1701 to that In which the year 1818 left it. There are so many documents of importance given in tlie volume under review that one is at a loss* to know- where to begin any enumeration of them. For instance, the first Is the order of the Klng-in-Council dividing the province of Quebec into tlie provinces of Upper ana Lower Canada and hears date August 24, 1701. Then there follows the commission to Lord Dorchester as governor-in-chief of Upper and Lower Canada bearing date September 12, 1701, succeeded by "Instructions to Lord Dorchester as govern or-in-chief of Lower Canada," bearing date September lii, 1791, consisting of about twenty pages of printe matter, all throwing interesting sidi lights on the Btate of things In Canada at that time anu showing how the> were being met; and that again by "Instructions to Lord Dorchester as governor-ln-chlef of Upper Canada," bearing date September HI, 1701, consisting of sixteen pages of printed matter full of specific instructions An enumeration of the titles of the papers printed in this volume conveys, however, only a very dim idea of the interest which the perusal of these papers will give to tlie attentive reader of them. A perusal of this large volume calls attention to the very great benefit, to the country in various ways of the Canadian archives branch from its Institution many years ago with Doug* las Brymner as tlie first archivist to the present day and the issuance of this most interesting volume by the present Incumbents of tlie office, Messrs. Doughty and McArthur.

Moran, a citizen of Mexico and a newspaper writer, has been visiting the British Columbia coast cities and has made some interesting statements in regard to the situation ln that country. Mr. Moran has' travelled extensively over Mexico and lias been engaged hi newspaper work In different places there, including the City of Mexico. He Is at present sending correspondence to several Mexican and United States newspapers. According to him the people of Mexico feel that the intervention of the United States is not actuated by the lofty motives set forth by the president, but that he Is being influenced in his action by the largo capitalists who have made investments in Mexico. There Is one American oil company whose investments there approximate a billion of dollars; a mining interest that seeks to control tho mineral wealth of the country, and a railway interest that has been aiming to control the transportation facilities of Mexico. These interests or their representatives have been for some time actively engaged in fomenting trouble in Ilexlco for the advancement of their own aims. The troubles in Mexico have been of so long duration that the original cause of them Is lost sight of in the public mind outside of that country. The revolution originally started against President Diaz; not indeed to overthrow his government, but for the purpose of land reform, under which the pcoiiB—Mie common people— could acquire land for themselves. Diaz had been in office for thirty-five yoara, and had been sustained by the power of the army and by the church. Under liis rule the country had made groat progress. Over 20,000 miles of railway had been built and many new industries had been established. Under the protection of his administration foreign capitalists were willing to industrialize Mexico, for, with its great natural resources and cheap labor, ideal conditions for the profitable employment of capital presented themselves. Wages ran from 18 to 75 cents per day—Mexican money, about half of the value of Canadian money. and that tor from 10 to 14 hours pet- day. The revolution first took form about tlie year li)00, having been caused by the Liberal party of Mexico. The population of Mexico is between sixteen and seventeen millions of people, about one-half of whom are pure blooded Indians and the* remainder of Spanish blood—mucli of it more or less mixed w'th Indian blood. The area if the country is 7(17,000 square miles, The whole of this land Ib owned entirely by some 7,000 people, tlie descendants of favorites of the Spanish King Charles V-, who had made grants of the land after the conquest of tiie country by the Spaniards. Tiie peons work these lands for those who own them. They have no opportunity to acquire land for themselves, and what* ever land the large estate owners are unable or unwilling to make productive lies Idle. It was the program of the Liberals to permit the people—the peons—to take up this uncultivated land, cultivate it for themselves and build up a nation of small land owners, each man working for himself instead of for others. It was not proposed to com* pensate the owners of these lands, for their title to them had h*en originally that of conquerors, and one-half of tlie Mexican population was composed of the descendants of those who had been despoiled of the land and who regarded themselves as having a better moral right to it than that of the present owners. That is the economic question lying behind the revolution—to get the peons established on land owned hy themselves, acquired by them as pointed out. They are practically all agriculturists, and if given this opportunity would, it Is claimed, thrive and prosper, The Liberal party tried to defeat Diaz at the polls. They nominated a ticket against him and his adminlB' tratlon, but they we're not allowed to vote. Prevent your opponents voting and tlie result of the election is certain. The soldiers of Diaz kept those In opposition to him from the booths. Then In 1906 the rebellion really start-1 ed, hut it was easily and quickly crushed. Another rebellion started in 1008, but it too was crushed. Two years later, however, the revolutionists were successful, and it was expected that their program to socialize the lands would materialize. Madero took advantage of the defeat of Diaz to seize the reins of power, although the mass of the Mexicans were not looking for the overthrow of Diaz, but only of the system of land holding prevalent. Madero, however, represented the land-holding interests and practiced even greater cruelties than his predecessor. Madero was overthrown, not by tlie Liberal party, but by a military revolt. Diaz secured the support of the army' by looking with his blind eye on army pay accounts, by means of which the officers had been enabled to enrich thepiselves by graft. This Madero stopped; and Huerta, who had been next to Madero in command, turned on his chief. The peons continued the fight against Huerta, because his rule is simply a continuation of the Diaz methods, that Is, he stands by the land owners; and Carranza and Villa, representing the old Madero faction, have also continued the fight with Huerta. The two constitutionalist commanders are usually supposed to be getting their financial support from American oil interests. That has been openly stated. The people generally are fighting for the right to acquire and hold land in small tracts; and they will continue to fight for it until this will be given to them, They are now going through the same struggle that different peoples in Europe have gone through. Zapata is the recognized leader of the peons in southern Mexico, with a following of some 00,000 men. This is a part of his platform: Thut the revolutionists will not lay down their arms until they have seen its promises realized, and that they will struggle with virile and titanic efforts until they have secured the liberties of tlie people; until they have recovered tiie lands, forests and waters that have been taken from them by usurp; tion, until they have finally solved the agrarian problem, Mr. Moran believes that if the Mexicans should unite for the common de cate fence of their country—although Gen* al Villa's declarations would Indi- that this is improbable—the United States has a large task on its hands. He says the United States can easily take the seaports, but predicts that it would take one million men and ten years for them to control the whole country. He gives the disposition of the Mexican forces as follows: The Federals, Huerta's party, have 80,000 men; the Constitutionalists, the men of Carranza and Villa, number 35,000; Zapata in tlie south has 00,000 men, mostly mounted riflemen; and there are different detached commands, guerillas, numbering some 42,000 men, who will all fight the common enemy. With these armies are over 400 field pieces, including rapid fire guns. The interview continues to enumerate the otlier defensive forces of the Mexicans, and concludes with forecasting that Ihe Japanese, of whom there are said to be at least 20,000 In southern Mexico, many of whom are said to be veterans of the Russian war, and who have repeatedly offered their services to Huerta, will take part in the scrimmage, P P EDITORIAL NOTES. P ■ <P AA^AA P-'A-Vi- •'•■••■>•<•-• <&■$•$$$$* Judging by despatches the United States while willing to discuss a peaceable solution of its difficulties with Mexico is preparing for war. Nothing like being on the safe side. Chief Cuddy of the Calgary police force has refused to appoint a woman detective. While there are certain phases or police work in which a woman can render good service, detective work as ordinarily understood is not one of them. Itev. C. H. Huestis, secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance for Alberta and British Columbia, is in difficulty with the mayor of Vancouver. Following his remarks in Calgary it would appear that Mr. Huestis' special mission is to make enemies for the cause which lie is advocating. Tlie terms upon which the government is granting further assistance to the Canadian Northern mean that Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann and their associates are paying dearly for the help-being given them. To secure a government guarantee of bonds of 145,000,000 they have had to agree to reduction of their stock in their various undertakings to the extent of $78,000,000, to forego claims for service amounting to between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000, and In addition pay off debts of the Canadian Northern railway to the extent of $25,000,000. The government In addition secures security of various kinds and the country Is protected ln case of failure of the system. The Canadian Northern must have been in a bad way financially or Sir William and Sir Donald and their associates would never have accepted these terms. Two members of the Conservative party at Ottawa refuse to support the government's proposals for. further aid to the Canadian Northern railway. This will not prevent the aid being granted, but their action is another Indication that the day of government assistance to privately owned railways fs fast coming to an end. ft « P WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING <?

An Indictment of Free Trade If free trade were the cure-all It is supposed to be, what fs the necessity fur the vast program of social reform for which the English Liberals stand? Instead of a cure-all, it is a fiscal de luslon, nn Impractical dream. When tried, its main result Is to drive skill ed laborers und capital abroad and stimulate production (which is the true source of wealth) within the bor ders of other countries.

Provision Is mado for the inspection by government officials of books, reports and other records of the Canadian Northern railway and its subsidiary companies whenever the government destires. "12. Provision Is also made for the appointment by the government of a director upon tho board of the Canadian Northern railway, and each of Its subsidiary companies. "13. It Is provided that all tho lines comprising the Canadian Northern railway system shall be subject to the executive jurisdiction of the parliament of Canada and shall be subject to the control of rates by the board of railway commissioners for Canada. Government Ownership Possible "14. Very careful and strict provision has been made for dealing with any situation which may arise Jn case the company should not be able In the future to carry out its engagements. In the event of any default by the Canadian Northern railway or any of its subsidiary companies in meeting the Interest or principal due on any securities issued hy such companies, the government may forthwith by order-in-council dismiss the directors of all such companies and appoint directors in their stead. The new board so appointed and representing tho government will bo vested with extraordinary powers which would enable the board with the approval of tho government to vest the road, subject to all outstanding securities, In tho government na trustees for the people; or tho board with the authority of the government may transfer the road, subject to outstanding securities, to any corporation Or company which may bo constituted for tho present. In such case the common stock and all the interests of Mackenzie & Mann in the road would be absolutely wiped out and the entiro system would be held either by the government in tho right of the people or by a now corporation constituted by parliament for the purpose. The long delays usually incident to foreclosure proceedings will be thus obviated aad tho situation dealt with in A summary manner. "1(5. Tlie government agrees that for throo years after the opening of the through line between Montreal and the Pacific coast, tho government, as requested by the company, will pay the interest of the ?45,000,000 guaranteed, but the interest so paid must be repaid hy tho company to *tho government With interest thereon from time to time. In other words, tho interest, if paid by the government, will be added to the principal and will ibe secured equally with tho principal by mortgage through the deed. Did Not Divert Any Money "16, A most careful and thorough Investigation has been mado by the expert accountants of tho department of railways and the department of finance Into the hooks, records and accounts of tho Canadian Northern railway and its subsidiary companies. From yiis examination and Inquiry It appears that Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, have not withdrawn or diverted any money which has been realized by the sale of securities of the Canadian Northern railway, but that all such money has been applied to tho construction of the road. .Prom tho same inquiry It appears that Mackenzie & Mann, Limited, for several years past havo acted as agents for the Canadian Northern railway, and as such have made arrangements for the construction of the various lines which are now being built or have been completed.

It appears that the caucus was confined to the Canadian Northern railway matters, there being no discussion or the Grand Trunk Pacific bond guarantee. The Evening Citizen says: "Three supporters of the government, R. B. Bennett, Calgary; W. F. Nickel, Kingston, and J. H. Burnham, West Peterboro, dissatisfied with the character of the proposals, left the caucus. The rest, It is understood, approved the government's proposition. "An official statement by the premier was issued at the conclusion of the gathering. He said: Satisfactory, Says Premier. " 'The caucus was held for the purpose of explaining and discussing certain proposals regarding the Canadian Northern railway. The discussion was satisfactory and the proposals of the government will shortly be brought down and placed before the government.' "In a joint statement Messrs. Bennett and Nickle said: '"After listening to the proposals we came away from the caucus he- cause, in our opinion, they were proposals In the interest of railway promoters and not of the people.' "J. H. Burnham, in a statement, said he was opposed to handing over another dollar to a company such as the Canadian Northern railway, hut that he had no objection to tlie government acting as receiver for the corporation.

It was presided over by Joseph Armstrong, Lamb ton, and came as one of the culminating features of the further application for government aid to the Canadian .Northern railway, cussed the same proposition but reached no conclusion; in fact, negotiations at that time had not attained any character ot finality. The'sentiment was by no means unanimous, save In demanding a thorough showdown from the company as to how and where the generous measure of public assistance accorded it in the past has been applied. "Meanwhile this Investigation has been conducted and >n the light of it and long continued conferences wtth the heads of the Canadian Northern railway the government today submitted to (he caucus certain proposals ot aid, thus carrying out its promise of consulting that body before any steps by way of aid are initiated. Line Considered Essential. "The whole matter for some weeks has centred upon the question of the security. There has never been much doubt that the company would be assisted, tlie government recognizing that the essential need of the line as a factor In transcontinental transportation is real. "At the same time the objection was raised that aid In the past had. not been exceedingly generous but Insufficiently secured as to collateral." OTTAWA, April 28.—J. H. Burnham M. P. for West Peterboro, tonight denied a statement which nppearetf in the evening papers to the effect that he hnd left the Conservative caucus today because he could not support the Canadian Northern railway proposals.

COPPER TREATMENT OF SOIL IN KOOTENAY (Continued from page two) hardpan is in evidence too near the surface tho operation Is more difficult, in some cases necessitating blow, ing up by dynamite, Evaporation Loss Heavy. ' Our great problem in the control of soil moisture is to prevent undue evaporation. The extent of the loss by evaporation ls not realized iby the average farmer. I ihave seen In southern Alberta a rainfall of 24 inches which fell In May and June, where tho ground was saturated to a depth of over six feet, entirely evaporated in fiive months under improper management, where under proper management there was sufficient moisture to mature a good crop the following year. By actual test under some conditions the loss was two quarts of water per square root every 24 hours and should .there be a lack of humus it would even exceed that amount. When We take off a crop of grain, for Instance, as soon after as possible it Is advisable to thoroughly disc the land. This prevents the formation of a surface crust and permits of the proper combination of air and moisture, unless the mtfisturehaa'already evaporated, and reduced the formation of plant food for th© succeeding crop. It also keeps the soil In the proper condition for plowing later In the fall. In taking off an Intercrop on a young orchard, tf done tbo early in the season there is a danger of starting the trees into a late grpwth which would subject them to winter kill and in this case judgment, must be exercised. Spring Work. In the spring the first thing to do is to surface work all your land as soon as possible, as it Is at this time that evaporation is most rapid. It also helps materially to warm the soil and start the bacteria worlclng. If you do any plowing iii the spring it is important that the bottom 4 or 5 In. that tho plow turns' over should be made fine, and this must be done before any drying out process occurs. If you have not got a subsurface packer, a disc harrow is the implement to use and should ihe run with tlie discs only slightly turned and weighted to cut to the bottom of the furrow. Surface cultivation should be continued at intervals until the crop is sown or planted and as long after ns possible. Crust Should Be Broken. When rains are frequent, which pre- vents cultivation nt the proper time, and we think those rains will take place of cultivation, wc find the crop not so good as we thought it would he. One reason for this is that those frequent rains soon create a crust which prevents tlie proper circulation of air and the constantly moist surface causes excessive evaporation and tlio moisture is practically evaporated as quickly as it falls, whereas if cultivation was kept, up during these rains the result would be that the moisture would be forced down in the soil hy gravitation and stored there for future use. fire at Wood Mountain caught William Franc, a farmer, while he was ploughing and so severely injured him that it is feared .he will lose his sight.

CARSON CALLS CHURCHILL CAD (Continued from Page One.) ls growing, both in England and ire- land, that troops will not be moved at the present time at all. A story widely published today that officers were at Curragh to proceed against Ulster remains entirely unconfirmed. Liberals Consider Offer Weakness (Western Associated Press Special Cablo.) LONDON, April 28. — Winston Churchill's remarkable offer to Sir Edward Carson came as a great surprise to both parties. It was little less than a request to tbe Orangemen to make their own terms with one condition, namely, tholr agreement to Ireland being a national unit in any federal system which may be established. Mr. Churchill's offer left the debate on thc vote of censure adjourned amid an uncertain atmosphere with almost open dissension observable in the Liberal ranks. A strong section of the ministerialists is amazed at tho government's apparent paralysis and declare that leniency can be carried to tho length of grave legal injustice. Tho Unionists now boast that the government has hoisted the white flag, while the Liberals and Irish Nationalists make no attempt to hide their dismay as they consider that the offer has more an air of weakness than of mognamity. Nationalists Resentful The Nationalists are bitterly resentful of Mr. Churchill's offer, being un- propared, except 'as a* lost extremity, to sanction any compromise extending tlie six years' limit as originally proposed by Mr. Asquith. Chronicle Sneers The Chronicle says: "The Impotent ending of Mr. Churchill's brave speech caused dismay among tho Radicals." The Express says that after Mr. Churchill's white flag performance it is evident that thc bome rule bill is "deader than when wc announced its death 10 months ago." A general election can only be staved off a little longer. Redmond Talks Peace (Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON, April 28.—John Redmond told the Dally Mail: "I have always been a strong believer In federalism, but I do not quite understand why Mr. Churchill has made an offer along this line. As I understand 'the matter he asks Sir Edward Carson to Say, 'Enough of this .business. Let us shake hands and try and find a solution by good Willi' The Nationalists are told they are liars and humbugs when they profess friendship, but 1 say now In mil sincerity, 'If Sir Edward Carson will do this 1 will try to effect an honorable settlement. There Is nothing the Nationalists will not do in an endeavor to placate the Ulster- men," Capt. Craig, a prominent Ulster leader, says: "t regard this as tlio most Important advance toward peace yet made In this house. I confidently expect it will be developed and thero will be further negotiations between party leaders." GOVERNMENT TO SEARCH FOR STEFANSSON'S SHIP Russian Polar Expeditions Are Also Missing—Steamers Chartered to Look for Them. LONDON, April 211.—The Canadian government has chartered the steam whaler Herman to search the Arctic circle for Stefansson's ship, thc Karluk, which broke away from the Ice duclng a storm in October last.
